Telstar 1-3 Sparta Rotterdam result, stats and report

Sven Mijnans scored three times as PSV Eindhoven dismantled Sparta Rotterdam 4-1 at home, extending their unbeaten Eredivisie run with a performance that was dominant from the first whistle.

SC Heerenveen controlled virtually every department against Telstar but could not find a way through, squandering two big chances in a goalless Eredivisie draw that will sting.

Twente ground out a 1-0 victory over Telstar in the Eredivisie, with Sondre Ørjasæter's 65th-minute finish settling a match Twente controlled from start to finish but should have won by more.

Ajax were ruthless and efficient in Velsen, putting four past Telstar without reply. Davy Klaassen got the opener, Steven Berghuis and Tolu Arokodare added to the tally in a dominant second half, and substitute Marcos Leonardo wrapped it up late.

Sparta Rotterdam host Willem II on Saturday evening with both sides desperately short of wins and, frankly, short of basic defensive standards. This one has goals written all over it, and not in a good way for either backline.

Telstar have shipped ten goals in their last five Eredivisie matches and now face a Feyenoord side that put seven past PEC Zwolle without reply. This could get ugly.

Telstar and ADO Den Haag meet on Sunday with a combined four wins from their last ten Eredivisie matches. Something has to give, but neither side is giving much confidence.

Two leaky defences, a recent head-to-head that ended 2-2, and both sides desperately needing three points. Saturday at De Adelaarshorst has the makings of a proper match.
